NEW YORK: China never ceases to amaze. It is now practicing “dogfighting” satellites as part of its enhanced program in defense preparedness in outer space that includes extending the conventional dog fights in the air between fighter jets to satellites.

Only after a month and half of the Delhi Election setback, AAP has reshuffled its organization which reveals the party’s national aspirations. AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal has been spared the regional organizational burden to focus on the party’s national aspirations and national politics. As for regional aspirations, the party has clearly indicated its interest in six states as of now – Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Goa, Chhattisgarh, and Jammu & Kashmir.

AAP’s pretention of being a progressive and liberal political organ has been badly hurt by its action to evict the farmers from the Punjab Haryana border. What happened yesterday imbibes highest order of deviousness of AAP. Over these years, Arvind Kejriwal had tried to create the ambience of being progressive and responsive to the peoples’ aspirations. Yesterday’s incident nevertheless makes it absolutely clear that AAP is India’s first party sans an ideology.

It is getting awfully crowded in that space where Muslims hold the key to any secular party's electoral advantage.

KOLKATA: ‘Referendum’ as a route to bring into larger focus the demand for a separate administration for the hills part of Manipur where Kuki-Zos are dominant inhabitants ? As the ethnic conflict that started on May 3, 2023 raged and Manipur came to be referred to as a strife-scarred state, the prominent Kuki-Zo organisation and its affiliates started not only decrying the discriminatory stance of the Valley majority Meiteis towards them but also demanding a separate administrative arrangement admissible under relevant provisions of the Constitution.

NEW YORK: Elon Musk and Donald Trump are attempting to transform the architecture of the federal government. The American state under their influence is not merely a vehicle for broad capitalist governance but a tool for the personal enrichment of individual business elites.

BERLIN: Some world events can look different to those of us in Berlin. God knows, here too I’m frightened at what Trump, Vance and Musk are doing and planning. Nor do I love Putin. But what I hate above all else is war, which is looks — and is closer over here.

Bangladesh has officially sought a meeting between their head of interim government Dr. Mohammad Yunus and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the coming BIMSTEC meeting at Bangkok on April 2-4 next. Both countries are members of BIMSTEC. As per present schedule, both have confirmed their presence at the summit of the BIMSTEC. Desperate to have a meeting with the Indian PM after getting a drubbing from the U.S. intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard during her visit to India last week, the Bangladesh government wants to have a detailed discussion with the Indian PM who has been averting a one-on-one meeting in the last seven and half months since Dr. Yunus took over as interim head on August 8, 2024.

Despite his best efforts and concessions to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, including a US vote in the UN alongside North Korea, Iran and Russia on Ukraine war, Putin has given a big hoax to US president.

NEW YORK: Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is in a head spinning dilemma as US President Donald Trump bowls him a googly the first ball and a China man the second and the predatory wicket keeper Russian President Vladimir Putin is waiting like a hawk to stump Zelensky as he tries to go out of the crease to kick in the ceasefire hard to end the three-year old conflict.
